copy and paste the link and change the htxp:// to http:/


I had to do this to prevent hotlinking and getting it shut down prematurely, but in any event it can only be
downloaded 10 times...so when you're through with it...re-upload it.

Ciao for now,

Tim

Thanks for the link...do you feel the practice questions from this book resembled the ones on the TEAS test?

Just to let you know, that McGraw Hill book is a great reference for TEAS prep. I downloaded it for free
from rapidshare dot com. (I'm trying to avoid hotlinking anything so as to avoid raising any flags!!!)
Perform a search on rapidlibrary dot com using 'Nursing Entrance' as the search keywords and it should pop up
as a .rar file. Download the file to a folder of your choice, use Winrar to 'unrar' the file so to speak...and you will
have the entire book at your fingertips in a .pdf format file. Then one may use Adobe's free .pdf reader
(or Sumatra's) and study away to your heart's content. (I posted step-by-step instructions for the computer
challenged folks amongst us.)

I sat for the TEAS yesterday, Thurs. June 11th, and earned a 84.7% overall with approx. 8 hours study.
I had never taken a computer based test before, but felt comfortable with it after about 20 min. Oh, I forgot to add that some Youtube videos are invaluable. Search Youtube user 'mrthoth' ; he also goes by the moniker
'Yossarian the Grammarian'. His videos are excellent as are his teaching abilities. Short, sweet, and to the point.

As for content, it is my opinion that the vast majority of the posters of 'TEAS' related posts on this bulletin
board are dead wrong! All of the questions are based on knowledge of the material; however, at least 2/3 of those questions are exercises in critical thinking using one's knowledge of the material. ATI has designed a format
in which they test how well one can use the knowledge that they already have, and believe me that concept
was very cleverly hidden throughout the theme of the exam.

Ciao for now,

Tim

I'm in! Class of 2011 A.D.N.
Thanks but it's not letting you download!

Hey everyone I took the TEAS test for UT Tyler on June 27 and this is what I did to prepare and what happened at test day:

I got the study guide from ATI...this I think is the best one to study because it prepares you for the exact format of the test.

The website I went was testpreview.com.....and look for the TEAS tab...this will give you more questions to practice on...

On the day of the exam....show up early...this what happened:

The exam is all computerized, you do not need a calculator, so that means you have to calculate everything on paper. In my school, Only 9 people took the test unlike the N.E.T. where 50 people showed up, and as always, Im the only guy there. Know your conversions, metric to standard and vice versa. Know your algebra, fractions, whole number calculations, and how to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius....that was my last math question...and make sure you get a scratch paper and write small so you can utilize all the space in it. There are questions in there that you must use paper, unless you have photographic memory. For sciences, know your geology.....Basically, Know everything on the ATI TEAS study guide....Depending on your school requirements(you need to ask your advisor) study only on the required test and try to get the competitive score, and not the passing score....it will look better..

You get your results as soon as you finish....and P.S. (do not move to the next page of the test until you certain your answers are all what you want them to be)

For UT tyler...the required/recommended score is 64% on reading and math and that is calculated on using the point system...

MY score was...87.5 on reading, 82.2 on math, 85 on english, and I know 70 on science( I dont need that for my school--I passed though)...my overall composite is 81.7....I was gonna retake the TEAS but my advisor said that score is good enough...so my advise is...Talk to your advisor!!! about the requirements in your school so you wouldnt understudy or overstudy some subjects.......Goodluck on the TEAS test, I think the hardest part is the science one due to geology and physics questions......Let me know if you have any further questions!!!!

Thumbs up Re: Teas test prep
Thank you this will help me a lot! I have purchased both books from NET and ATI as well since each school wants a different test. I thank you for letting me know about the metric conversion,it's been awhile. Now for physics and geology!

You'll be fine, dont stress too much over it..I used to but not anymore...I dont think they expect you to know physics and geology that much (hint: they are not prerequisites)....just study the Ati study guide on that one...all the answers are there...Just try to do really good on the Reading and the Math...Heck!! try do good in all of them...but I do not know your school requirements...Good luck...
